Iron Nugget
I love that Rite Publishing is not just rehashing Oriental Rules supplements, but actually designing an engrossing world set behind Japanese mythology. Way of the Yakuza is a sourcebook to allow you to either construct or run Yakuza in your Kaiden campaign or transfer the gang into your current campaign. The Old Japanese feel of the layout goes a long way to helping the reader understand how different the ways of the Yakuza are.
The 36 page PDF includes traits and feats to bring the Yakuza to life. However, the most creative features are the enchanting of tattoos and the base class archetypes that give DMs and Players the chance to Yakuza up their characters and NPCs without a major overhaul.
The Iron Word
The authors of the Kaiden campaign world are producing a fantastic mythology that blends Asian culture with the D&D realm. The Yakuza come off as violent individuals with a stern code of honor.
